The pursuit of value-based kidney care at scale wouldn’t be possible without advocacy and support from the nephrology community. This week on the DaVita Newsroom, Dr. Gregory Spin and Dr. Michael O’Shea share reflections on growth in VBC and the value to patients. Dr. Spin is a participant in the current CMS program, Comprehensive Kidney Care Contracting (CKCC). "Fundamentally, when our patients do better, the cost of their care is reduced; when the cost of care is reduced, there are more resources available. Both, patients and the providers do even better — and the cycle can continue." — Dr. Gregory Spin, Summit Nephrology Check out the latest Q&A on the DaVita Kidney Care Newsroom: https://lnkd.in/e2XCwbGe #Nephswholead #CKCC #HealthcareInnovation

Today, DaVita Kidney Care hosted our annual Hospital Services Group Summit. The HSG team is near and dear to my heart--its where I spent 4 years helping to lead and execute on clinical strategy for the hospitals we support and the patients we serve. Today, I had the pleasure of discussing cellular therapies, including the work we are doing in CRISPR and CAR-T. While traditionally the work our acute hospital-based teammates do centers around supporting patients so that they can get well, CRISPR and CAR-T truly offer cures--real solutions to combat certain cancers and genetic diseases, like #SickleCellAnemia. As part of this discussion, I got to spend time interviewing Jimi Olaghere--one of the first patients to successfully undergo this treatment for sickle disease. Jimi is equal parts resilient, inspiring, and forthright about the opportunities and obstacles that exist with cellular therapies. Jimi let us in to his heart and his journey as he shared his story and talked about the change in his life and what that change has meant to his family. What an inspiration! https://lnkd.in/gMpxNdTJ
